Implantable Heart Aid

Essentially a miniaturized, implantable version of a defibrillator, the AID implantable automatic pulse generator was spun off from NASA’s Apollo technology. The AID monitors the heart continually and can deliver a corrective electronic shock if it detects a problem. It is implanted, and after that requires no additional equipment or specialized personnel for usage, only needing the usual check-ups.
